Hi Jack,

 

Sorry to diversify and hope you sort your footer out soon.

 

As a fellow learner I will say that php include command is brilliant. Nick in the north showed me how to use it ages ago and its brill. Not at all complicated. I use it for menu's and other things that may appear on lots of pages. If your menu changes you then just have to change the 1 file rather than having to change the code on every page. Same applies to info in a footer.

 

<?php include("menu.php"); ?>

 

The code for the menu goes in 1 file saved in the same directory.

Just another problem is when viewed in 800x600 things go askew a little could I set my margins around the content to a percentage instead of a fixed value?

 

 

I think I have sorted it, what do you think, as far design I get the blank screen syndrome and stuck for ideas but I like the idea of using php to updated the navigation does that mean when I add another link in the menu I can just update the whole site using one command ?

 

BTW the updated page is here www.southportangling.co.uk/jan-website/news.html

What you do is separate the pages up into different files, that way you only need to edit one file for every page on your site.

 

eg: header.inc could be

 

<?phpecho '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>Welcome to S.D.A.A</title><meta http-equiv="content-type"	content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="3col12.css" /></head><body> <div id="head"></div>';?>

 

main.inc

 

<?phpecho '<div id="content"><h1>Content for  id "content" Goes Here</h1>	<p>The S.D.A.A was founded in 1906 // ----SNIP ---- // Southport </p>	  </div> <div class="content1">	  <img src="pics/crabbebream.jpg" width="50%" height="35%" /></div>';?>

 

menu.inc

 

<?phpecho '<div id="nav2">	  <li>		<div align="center"><a href="#">About Us</a></div>	  </li>		// ---- SNIP ---- //		</li>		<li>		  <div align="center"><a href="#">Contact Us</a></div>		</li>		<div class="adbox">		  <div align="center"><img src="pics/copyofang11.jpg" width="150" height="150" />				  </div>		  <h2 align="center">just testing</h2> </div> </div>';?>

 

footer.inc

 

<?phpecho '<div id="side2"> <img src="ribbleleaflet.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> <div class="adbox"><img src="main-pics/atbutton.gif" width="150" height="150" /></div></div> <div id="footer">  <h2>FOOTER</h2></div></body></html>';?>

 

 

Then you would use the following to bring it all together

 

index.php

<?phpinclude('header.inc');include('main.inc');include('menu.inc');include('footer.inc');?>

 

If you wanted to keep the current file names, and your host supports it, then you could use "mod_rewrite" to "rewrite" the file extensions
